The English language is the most widely spoken language in the world. It is used as either a
primary or secondary language in many countries.

the United Kingdom. Through the centuries, as the result of various historical events, English
spread throughout the world. Today, about 400 million people speak English as their native
language. Most of them live in Ausatralia, Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, New Zealand,
South Africa, and the United States.
Another 100 million people, chiefly living in Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, and in many
African countries, speak English in addition to their own language. An additonal 200 million
